About The Musical Singer
Entertainment manager James Wong loses his lead singer Jannie Fong when she breaks her contract. Angered, he turns his efforts to making a young dancer named Russell, who has no singing experience, into an even more successful singer than Miss Fong. During his climb to success, Russell's girlfriend, Dionne, feels alienated from him.
Directed by Dennis Yu Wan-Kwong, The Musical Singer leans on a strong ensemble — Russell Wong, Anita Mui Yim-Fong, James Wong Jim — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1985.
